WABL Stadium Scoring User Guide
Introduction
Your Association now has the ability to score all WABL games using the Stadium Scoring program. In
order for the system to function correctly, there are a few things it requires:



Set-up
Power
Internet Access (not necessarily required during game)
Set-Up
On Game day, you will be required to put the laptops out onto each court’s scorebench. Once the
laptops have started, all you will need to do is open the Stadium Scoring program. Once it is open
simply click ‘Run Downloaded Games’. The list of games to be played on each particular court should
appear in order.
Power
In order for the laptops to run throughout the course of the Game day, they will require power. Some
Stadiums have power at each scorebench but some do not. In circumstances where the scorebench
does not have a power socket, the Games Controller will need to run extension leads from each nonpowered scorebench to the closest power socket. Player and spectator safety must be considered
when undertaking this. After each game, the Games Controllers should check that laptops are NOT
operating from battery power.
Internet Access
In order for each system to display that particular court’s games, internet access is required. This is
most easily done via wireless internet access in which case each laptop can automatically download
games and upload game results from the scorebench. If the Stadium does not have wireless internet
(or it is not accessible from the scorebench), the day’s games will need to be downloaded onto the
laptops prior to being taken out to the scorebenches. This may be done by plugging each laptop into
the internet and starting Stadium Scoring, or starting the program in an area where the laptops do
receive wireless internet access.
NOTE: Internet access is not required to run the games once they have been downloaded; however it is
again required when closing the Stadium Scoring program (therefore uploading game results).
User Manual
Contained in the rest of this guide is a Stadium Scoring user manual. This provides in-depth, step-bystep instruction on how to open, run and close Stadium Scoring. It is recommended that those who will
be assisting in the set-up and training of Stadium Scoring read this thoroughly.
